Governance

Governance you can examine, not just trust.

Our structures, rules, and responsibilities — documented and public.

Legal form & status

Where we stand — stated plainly.

Legal form

DentShare is being founded as a charitable association (eingetragener Verein) under German law. Register court and number will be published here upon registration.

Charitable status

Recognition as a charitable organization is being pursued. We make no statements about tax treatment until the competent authorities have confirmed the status.

Neutral by statute

Politically and religiously neutral. Practices are selected by need and compatibility — never by any political or religious criterion.

anchored in the statutes

Planned bodies

Clear responsibilities, independent oversight.

The governance structure below is the planned setup for the founding phase; names and terms will be published with the register entry.

General assembly

The supreme body of the association: elects the board, approves reports, amends the statutes.

Structures are half the trust. Transparency is the other half.
